Hello, 2015!

Happy 2015! 

I hope everyone had a fun safe New Year...ours was definitely on the low-key side, but to be honest, that's just what I needed! The past week has definitely been very eventful, so I'll take any relaxing I can get. For starters, remember two of my very best friends who were pregnant with the same due date? Well, they had their babies...and on the same day! Talk about some emotions running high! December 30th welcomed Cash first, followed by Gemma several hours later. I love these babies so much already...think they would be mad if I stole one?! I promise to bring them back when they start crying! ;)

Because I was at the hospital so late waiting to meet Miss Gemma (she took her sweet time!), New Year's Eve was a bit of a blur for me...and no, not because of alcohol. I was running on approximately 3 hours of sleep with no time for a nap. However, I still managed to stay awake to see the ball drop, eat some yummy hors d'oeuvres and cash in my New Year's kiss...this is my 12th New Year's Eve kiss with my hubby! Twelve years of smooching on the same man...and we haven't killed each other yet! ;)

New Year's Day, I slept in until 10am (thank you, husband!)...I cannot remember the last time that has happened. We visited the sweet babies and then came home for a completely lazy day. Christian also came down with a little cold, so extra cuddles were in order for all of us.

Did I mention we were super lazy?!

Gavin is getting pretty darn difficult to photograph, as he is always on the go and hates sitting still, but I managed a few cute shots of him on his favorite Christmas present. Totally rotten.

And we finished the evening with a magic carpet ride around the house. Boys are so much fun, but whew! They are exhausting! 

Since New Year's Day, we have all caught Christian's cold. None of us feel too badly, but it's been couch time, medicine & kleenexes galore for all of us. We did manage to escape the house for some Christmas returns, shopping & grocery. Christian stayed with my mom Saturday night, which always makes shopping so much easier. The less needy children at Target, the better! And I'm kind of obsessed with my adorable Valentine's Day finds for the boys. Thanks Old Navy & Kohl's!

AND since everyone finally has their Christmas gifts, I can share our family photos I took back in November. Like I said, Gavin is remarkably hard to photograph, so I consider all of these a complete win. One of these days we'll be able to get in with our regular photographer for some actual family photos, but until then, my cheap little camera will just have to do!

So that's been the start to our 2015 year. It's only 4 days in, and I can already tell it's going to be a great year! Time definitely needs to slow down though, because I'm only 2 months away from throwing my baby boy a first birthday party...and that just ain't right! ;) 

Until next time!
